Democratic Gains ON the Pop.
uIar Vote.

The official returns sent in from
the twenty four States that held
their elections last fall, show an
encouraging Democratic gain in
the popular vote since 1884. In
that year, in these States, the net
Republican plurality was 1862;
but in 1856 the Democratic plural,
ity was 45,1S8, a net Democratic
gain of 191, 500.
Texas, Tennessee and Missouri,
Democratic States, and Kansas.
Massachusetts, Minnesota New
Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylya-
MIA, Republican States all gave a
heavily increased Democratic vote.
Kansas reduced her Republican
majority of 90, 600 to $4,000; Mas
sachusetts cut down her plurality
of "a 600 to 5000; Minnesota drop
ped from her plurality of Al 600 to
1900; New Hampshire decreased
her plurality of 5000 to less thsn
500, and Ohio suffered a loss of 90
GOO in her plurality, only giving
the State to the Republicans by
IL 600 plurality.
Thus it will be seen that while
the Democracy lost some Congress-
men, there were more men voted
the Democratic ticket than in 1884
1t is more than an endorsement
of the Democratic Administration.
If Congress will only carry out
the Democratic pledge of revising
the tariff in spirit of. fairness to
all interests" and preventing the
surplus" better things are yet in
store.

As the present year promises tn
be one of great activity among the
manufactures of cur city. and ev-
cry man who wants employment

chants cannot fail to be gn,-d -
When men have money they want
to buy, and that is just the time
that dealers like to sell and can
sell if they understand how to at
tract people to their places of busi
ness
The great secret is, when hav-
ing something worth selling, to let
people know it. In no way can
this be done so well as by persis
tent advertising both in dull and
flush times. And the newspaper
is the best medium in which to adj
vertise.
Here is, something from the
Philadelphia Times, containing
some valuable hints for Wheeling
business men: "The waste of mon
ey by i'll advised advertising is
nearly or quite as much as would
literally advertise our trade in the
best channels. Many establish
ments spend more for costly circu-
lars and their distribution than
would present their business to
hundreds of thousands of thrifty
dealers through widely read news,
papers; and the circular seldom
reaches any others than a servant
as it passes to the waste basket or
kindling box. The advertisements
of our leading retail stores are as
regularly read in the leading news
papers by men, women and chill
dren in families. as are weather,
market and fashion reports. They
are made fresh and readable as ge-
nins and skill can make them, and
while circulars serve the only pur-
pose of starting the morning fire,
the wise advertiser daily summons
his customers from the homes of
the land and his advertising is the
life of his trade. The fact that
there is not great advertiser in
Legitimate trade in this city who
has not gathered fortune from his
business, while old and apparently
well established houses have Ian

proof that the newspaper that com
mands large circles of Intelligent

highway to business success and

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS.
Opening Of the Annual Convention at

Baptist Convention, the largest religious
body in the South, assembled in the Broad
way baptist church at 10 o'clock this morn
ing 1t is composed of delegates from mis-
sionary societies and churches of the Baptist
denomination in various parts of the United
States, each delegate representing 500 re-
ceived by the treasurerS of the boards on or
before the last day of April in the current
year The principal object of the conven-
tion is to promote foreign and domestic mis-
sions, but other important matters will also
receive consideration. The denominational
body has grown SO large that an effort will
be made at this session to increase the ratio
of representation to $500 for each delegate.
The convention was called to order by Rev.
PHI Nell, of Georgia. The delegates from
each State held preliminary meeting, and
pending reports of last years committees
the time was spent in listening to talks from
various ministers
THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Prof. NJ. B. Almond, of Louisville, then
delivered an appropriate address of well

BRITAIN ON A DECLINE.
A SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT IN THE
COLONIAL CONFERENCE.

The Australian Delegates Infuristed by
an Announcement that England
Hoped to Arrange With France for a
Joint Naval Commission to Govern
the New Hebrides.
LONDON, May Cit has transpired that
Sir Henry Holland Secretary of State for
the Colonies, announced in the Colonial con-
ference here on April "a that the govern
ment hoped to arrange with France for a
joint naval commission for the government
of the New Hebrides. The commission, it
was stated, would have power TO protect set
tiers, traders and missionaries and would
also be empowered to land marines to pun
ish natives for committing outrages and to
maintain order, the marines, however, to
be withdrawn when the special work for
which they landed was accomplished.
FRANCE TO WITHDRAW.
If the scheme proposed was accepted by
France, it was to be arranged that the
French garrisons now occupying the chief
harbors in the New Hebrides should retire.
All this has been well concealed until the
present, and the fact of its publication now
is attributed to the indignation which the
proposal has aroused among the colonial
representatives here, many of whom are
said to be unable to conceal their anger at
what they deem the surrender of their
claims to France.
ALMOST LED TO A SCENE.
1t is said that Sir Henry Hollands state
ment amazed the members of the confer
ence and almost led to a scene. The Aus
tralians all, without exception, deprecated
any policy which even seemed to recognize
French pretensions in the New Hebrides.
The Marquis of Salisbury, who was pres
ent, supported the speech made by Sir
Henry Holland in justification of the gov
ernment's proposal. The Premier's argu-
ment, however, instead of modifying the in
censed delegates, served but to intensity
their wrath.
HAMPERING ENGLAND.
His remarks implied that Australian de-
mands hampered England in her negotia-
tions with France. He maintained that the
colonistS made grave mistake in not ac
cepting q compromise the Earl of Roseberry
proposed and which the Premier said would
have prevented extension of the evils COM
planned of by the Australians arising
from sending French convicts to the South
Pacific and the rejection of which had
made it difficult for the English government
to approach France with any request that
she curtail her liberty of action as to the
uses to which she should put her territory.
A WAR CLOUD PICTURED.
''Surely," exclaimed the Marquis of Sails
bury, ''the colonies do not desire the re-
cidivist agitation to become cdsGs belti"
The Premier's speech increased the dissat-
isfaction of the delegates to such an extent
that Sir Graham Berry, Agent General of
Victoria, twitted the Prime Minister with
having made a speech that would have
been excellent coming from the mouth of
the French PREMIER
